PRT_WINDOW.CFG
About this task
The PRT Window (Field Labels) (prt_window.cfg) configuration file is used to customize the columns and their order in the PRT User Interface (prt_ui). This file has a DEFAULT record already configured. If you want to rearrange or limit the information on screen, you can do so by View or by Region. This feature comes in handy for printing reports and for customizing a screen to display only the information needed by a technician.
Further, this file can be used to configure different views for each of your designated PRT Services, or views to run across all PRT Services.
